Smart City, a $35B market ... for a better environment !

very interesting discussions around the urbanization of our society with 54% of the world population living in cities, and 80% in the US. A recent UN report says that 10,000 new cities will have to be created by 2040 to accomodate this migration and population growth in some areas. This creates many challenges as we see already with big cities pollution, traffic, housing problems, water shortage , energy management etc. ICT can help a lot , and HP in particular. Among the different topics IoT and energy management is on top of the list of things that can be implemented today and HP provides a nice solution for this: a platform for smart metering and energy management.
